> This story is DU fodder...
Perhaps, but it's also Freeper-fodder. Or would you suggest that we sweep under the rug instances of incompetance or fraud if the person in question is a Republican?
We're better than that. We should not be like the Dems who'll lie, cheat and slander in order to protect their liars, cheaters and slanderers.
Don't give me that "we're better than this" nonsense. This is a non-story. Some kid lied on his resume, got caught, got fired. He wasn't a power player, he wasn't appointed directly by the President, wasn't confirmed by the Senate. He was just a guy willing to lie to try to get one of the thousands of jobs swirling around any given administration.
If this was a kid in a Democratic administration, the only thing newsworthy about the story would be that he was actually fired for lying. And even then, the New York Times wouldn't give a damn enough to cover it.
So no, it's not a matter of "being better than that". It's a matter of honoring the leftist media's glaring double-standard. And I won't do it. This story is irrelevent, and unworthy of any serious person's time.
Which is why it was posted by one of our more notorious trolls and assigned DU codewords as keywords.
